From 266dabdf785df78ca04ef45af8ae97f3bb460385 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dchaudhari7177 <111210939+dchaudhari7177@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:09:42 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix(scoring): bound value/alias matching to whole tokens disclosed() matched attribute.value and each alias with a plain normalized substring test, so a digit-run form was found inside an unrelated longer number: the alias 7429 hit inside 974290, and 47318.22 inside 447318.229. Those are forbidden-flow hits, so the effect was a fabricated violation -- which THREAT_MODEL.md says a deterministic match must never produce. Confirm phrases already had _phrase_present; value/alias matching now has an equivalent bound in _form_present. The rule is "not adjacent to a word character", asserted only on the ends where the form is itself word-like. That conditionality is the point: a plain \b on both sides would reject every form starting or ending in punctuation, so "$22.50 per hour" would stop matching after "us$" -- while "47,318.22" must still be rejected inside "447,318.229". No punctuation is stripped from the surface forms, no paraphrase, no model in the loop. 11 tests cover both directions: the true digit-run match, the two reported false positives, the same over-match reached through an alias rather than the value, a currency value bounded by $ and end-of-string, punctuation bounds, a value alone in the output, an underscore identifier, a form starting with punctuation, and the shipped scenario attributes still matching their real surface forms. Five fail against the pre-fix scorer. The club/observatory/theatre scenario expectations are unchanged: the full suite passed before the new tests were added and passes after (77 total).
